OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract: What explains the near total absence of women in histories of international thought and the disciplinary history of International Relations? In this lecture, Professor Patricia Owens argues that women’s absence from histories of international thought is not based on a lack of women’s thinking about international politics or contribution to the early science of IR. A diverse array of historical women thought deeply about international relations and significant numbers were present in the early years of IR, especially in the first decades of the twentieth-century. However, the intellectual contributions of these historical women have been obscured, and on occasion even actively erased.
Patricia Owens is Professor and Chair of the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex. Previously she held positions in London and Oxford (where she recieved a teaching excellence award). In the summer of 2018, Owens will be Visiting Kathleen Fitzpatrick Professor in the Department of History at Sydney University.
